The property is zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial, and contains 1.75 acres. Mr. Conklin advised screening would be required along the western boundary since the tract adjoined an R-1 zoning district. He pointed out existing trees were already at that location so staff would determine if the screening requirement had already been met. He further noted a tree preservation plan would have to be presented. He advised the applicants had stated there would be gravel between the buildings rather than pavement. He explained the staff did recommend that in order to reduce the amount of impervious surface on the site. Mr. Allred stated they would need a waiver in order to do that. In response to a question from Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Jorgensen stated the easement was not shown on the plat but it would be worked out. He further advised he had talked with Mickey Jackson, Fire Chief, regarding placing a fire hydrant on the northeast corner of the development.

The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 20 acres with 52 residential lots and one outlot. Ms. Langley explained there had been sufficient changes to the plat that it had been determined the plat needed to go through Subdivision Committee again. Mr. Conklin advised the major change to the plat was location of the entrance into the subdivision; it had been moved to Fairway Lane. He noted the redesign had eliminated one lot. He stated the applicants would need to request a waiver for the length of the dead-end street. He explained it would be required to be paved up to the property line. He requested the applicant address access to lots 25, 26, 27 and 28 on Phase II. Mr. Rudasill explained those lots were single lots with roads on two sides due to excessive grades. He further stated there would be restricted access to those lots, that access would be from Amen Corner not Fairway Lane. Mr. Allred asked about access to Lot 1 in Phase I. Mr. Rudasill stated that would also be restricted to Fairway Lane. Mr. Allred expressed concern over having three accesses within 166 feet. Mr. Reynolds asked if Mr. Bunn had completed the pressure tests on the water. system. Mr. Bunn stated they had run some tests the night before but he had nothing to report at this time. Mr. McCord asked if they were also running tests during the peak hours of usage. Mr. Bunn explained they were using a pressure monitor to run the tests. He explained some of the tests which had been run. He stated they had placed a chart recorder on the fire hydrant at the highest point for continuous reporting. He further stated they could get 1,200 gallons per minute at the high point with adequate residual pressure. He advised fire flows were not a consideration; the consideration was maximum usage during the summertime. Mr. Reynolds asked if there were some bad lines on top of the mountain. He explained he had complaints from people who lived in the area regarding poor water pressure. • Subdivision Committee July 29, 1993 Page 5 Mr. Bunn stated he did not know of any bad lines. He further stated in some cases there could be a problem at an individual house. He advised staff had only received calls in the last few weeks regarding low pressure in that area. Mr. Allred asked if there was a way to test the line of an individual home owner. Mr. Bunn explained the water meter foreman routinely made pressure checks at the meter. He stated residents could call for individual pressure checks. One of the area residents asked if staff was aware the water had gone off 3 or 4 times in the last week. Mr. Bunn stated they needed to investigate the operations system to determine if there was something causing the pump to shut off. He explained there were a wide range of possibilities causing the shut off and listed some of the possibilities. He advised he would be writing a revised report and hoped to be more definitive regarding the problems. Mr. Allred asked about the sidewalks. Mr. Rudasill advised there would be sidewalks on both sides of the street, set back one foot from the curb due to the grade considerations. • Mr. Conklin stated that would require a waiver. In response to a question from Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Rudasill stated there had been a change in Phase I since the gravity sewer had been eliminated . He pointed out Phase I was the eight lots across the top, the first cul-de-sac, and another five lots (a total of 18 lots). He stated Phase II was lots 1 through 35. Mr. McCord stated he had hand delivered a memo stating the Board of Directors of the Country Club did oppose the subdivision. He advised there was a mis-statement in the memo when he stated there was no curb and gutter on the street going up the hill but found there was curb and gutter the first 150 feet. He noted the dangerous area, the curve, had no curb and gutter. He further stated he believed the traffic count appeared to be low. Mr. Bunn advised that, if there was adequate time, they would be running an actual traffic count. He explained the software used to develop the trip generation was usually accurate on residential areas. He further explained they were uncertain about the traffic caused by the Country Club. Mr. Allred pointed out the traffic in the area would not lessen until they found another ingress/egress. Mr. Bunn stated they would try to have some actual traffic counts. Ms. Wright advised a lot of people that played golf at the country club had shown an interest in purchasing lots. She pointed out there could be some simultaneous uses between the country club members and lot owners. • • • Subdivision Committee July 29, 1993 Page 6 Mr. Allred asked if improvement of Country Club Drive was included in the C.I.P. Mr. Bunn stated the street was not included in the C.I.P. He advised it was a possibility they would do an overlay on the street. MOTION Mr. Reynolds moved to forward Phase I to the Planning Commission with all staff comments plus comments from the neighbors and letters. He explained this subdivision met all criteria of city regulations and the Subdivision Committee had no choice other than to forward it onto the Planning Commission. Mr. Allred seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
